July 10, 2023It was learnt the victim identified as Jacob Bamgbola, was conveying his sister’s daughter on a motorcyclist to a destination in the community when some immigration officers manning a checkpoint on the expressway stopped him along the Ijowun end of the Idiroko Expressway and demanded N200 before allowing him to continue his journey.
The situation led to an argument as Bamgbola was said to have refused to accede to the officers’ request, noting that he did nothing wrong to warrant him being allegedly extorted of N200, according toWhile some of the officers were busy interrogating other motorists, Benjamin took advantage of the fact that much attention was not on him and zoomed off and went to inform some youths in the community about his encounter with the immigration officers.
He said, “Bamgbola went to carry his sister’s daughter and on his way back, he met immigration officers on the road. Those officers are always there at the checkpoint. They stopped him and wanted to collect N200 from him but he refused. However, the head of the vigilance group in the town, Adesina Alabi, while complaining about the development, said security personnel were fond of extorting money from road users along the road.
He said, “It happened in front of my house. Youths in the town came to register their displeasure over the activities of the immigration officers in our community.
